movements of the plunderer in the
vault had brought it down upon HIM.
Or might it be, as some of the deeply.
religious and God-fearing people OF
Provincetown asserted, that special
providence was exerted. and that the
vengeance of an outraged God was
hurled upon the wicked man in the
height of his seeming triumph?
We do not know. We only know
that Henry Crawford became pro-
foundly impressed as he looked upon
this scene.
His mind went back barely three
months to the burning deck of the
Nellie Willis. He saw himself lying
helpless, PROSTATE, apparently dying.
He saw the man whose dead, staring
eyes and contorted features here con-
fronted him, bending over him in
satanic triumph. He recalled his own
words uttered then: ''God will never
permit such villainy to triumph! ]
tell you now, you will be overtaken
and punished" He remembered his
present assured happiness, with love
and wealth both given him. He bowed
his head; he was humbled in an in
stant. Tom Burt heard him audibly
pronounce the words:
Vengeance is mine; I will repay,

FACTS FOR GRuMBLERs.
What the Present Administration Has
Done for the Country.

What the Present Administration Has
Done for the Country.
ALI the Republican State conventions
held this year "arraignn the present
Democratic Administration, and all
that are yet to be held viii do the
same thing. That is the first duty of
Republican convention. and one
that should meet and adjourn without
going through the perfunctory sol
emnity would be hell recreant to the
party. What else can they do? When
they look to the National capital, they
see Democratic President in the place
where Republicans have sat for SO
long time that they had come to re-
gard it as an appendage to their party
and all that is left them is to gnash
their teeth in helpless rage and .'ar-
raign" the new Administration.
One convention bases its arraign-
ment on the battle-fag business; an
other on the turning of some Republic
ans out of office; but all arraignments
are about some trifing thing that is
passing out of the public mind.
This Democratic Admins stration has
done some things that its Republican
predecessors never attempted, nor
ever thought of. 1t landed force of
marines on the Isthmus of Panama to
protect American property during a
revolutionary outbreak, and, in doing
so, gave the first suggestion of a vig-
orous and determined foreign policy
we have had for twenty-five years. 1t
reversed the public lands policy of
five successive Republican Administra-
tions-a policy in the interest of rail-
road companies, cattle corporations
and alien claimants-and inaugurated
the new and better policy of reclaim
ing the public lands for actual home
stead settlers. These distinctive Dem
ocratic measures the Republican con-
ventions take no notice OF. They pass
over the improved commercial and in
dustrial condition of the country, SO
marked in its contrast with the dismal
depression that prevailed for three
years before President Cleveland en-
tered office; and they likewise leave
unmentioned the prudent management
of the public finances, the large pay
ments on the public debt, and the
vigorous prosecution of the work OF
rebuilding a navy which. under Repub-
lican management, had dwindled to a
few old tubs.
The American people have eyes to
see, and in spite of all the arraigning
resolutions of Republican conventions
they perceive that the condition of the
country is better, and its future bright
er this day, than they were for years
under Republican administrations, and
they are in no mood for change to
the old state of things. st. Louis Re
